Is there a command like RequestFile that can be used for saving images? Also, when I defined the filename as a string and later called it a string it said "Identifier type does not match declared type".

RequestFile displays a file requester dialogue, it can display an open or a save requester depending on the flags set (read the docs for more info on this). As regards your error, you need to post source for anyone to be able to help you.

coding sample... If keyhit(key_enter) image:TPixmap=GrabPixmap(0,0,1150,850) filtersave$="PNG:png" filenamesave$=requestfile("Save File",filtersave$,true) SavePixmapPNG(image, filenamesave$) endif My code for loading is pretty much the same, except with loadimage instead of savepixmappng and no grabpixmap. when i load, it loads fine except the load window keeps popping back up after i close it.

use flushkeys after calling RequestFile.
